GameTV is a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel devoted to games including game shows, reality TV programs, casino games, non-sports gaming and game related films and documentaries.
GameTV's corporate owner is Stuart Media Group Inc, although Insight Sports Ltd. operates the service on their behalf.
History
In September 2001, Stuart Media Group was awarded a licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a specialty channel to be called The Gaming Channel. Before the channels launch, Stuart Media reached an agreement with American television network, Casino & Gaming Television (CGTV), to use the channels name and brand for its channel. The channel launched in October 2005 as CGTV and was devoted to casinos, casino games and the gaming lifestyle; featuring tournaments, casino games, gaming destinations and more.
On October 26, 2007 at 6:00 pm EDT; CGTV was re-named GameTV, introducing classic Canadian game shows, reality TV, and movies that are related to gaming on the schedule, in addition to casino programming. This rebrand makes the station relatively similar to GSN, another service that is also available in Canada.
